LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2002 – Sony
Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced today the upcoming July 23, 2002
release of C-12: Final Resistance™, available exclusively for the PS one™
and PlayStation® game consoles. Created and developed by the team that brought
the critically acclaimed, MediEvil® series to PlayStation, Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe, Cambridge Studios presents C-12: Final Resistance
a third-person action-adventure game that offers a strong balance of combat,
exploration and puzzle solving. "

With narrative characters, in-game movie sequences, cut scenes
and heart-pumping music, C-12: Final Resistance provides a fully
immersive gameplay experience for both the casual and hard-core gamer," said Ami
Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. "C-12:
Final Resistance
proves our continued commitment in extending the
availability of new and broad content for PlayStation."

In C-12: Final Resistance, the game begins in the
aftermath of a hostile ground invasion of Earth by ravaging alien forces. At
first, the purpose of the invasion is unknown, but to the horror of all
surviving humans, the objectives become clear; the aliens plan to use the planet
Earth to harvest all non-radioactive carbon from the planet, thus the title
"C-12." Most of the human race has been decimated and those captured alive are
used for "droning," the process by which the aliens reprogram and adapt humans
into cyborg warriors.

It is up to you, playing as resistance fighter Riley Vaughan, to
save the earth from impending doom. Armed with an imaging unit that has been
implanted to replace his left eye, as well as a powerful arsenal of weapons,
Vaughan must complete tasks, collect items and destroy the enemy in order to
carry out his missions and uncover the secrets behind the alien invasion.
C-12: Final Resistance
will allow players to explore dynamic, darkly
detailed environments that include more than 35 different missions and
objectives.

The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has
rated C-12: Final Resistance "T" for Teen. For more information about the
